Wind Turbines Take a Technical Spin at Generating Electricity
Wind turbines convert kinetic energy into
mechanical power. In use for centuries, they have harnessed the power of the wind to pump water, grind grain and generate electricity.
While their popularity has peaked and ebbed over the years, interest in wind turbines to generate electricity is again gaining momentum. As an alternative to fossil fuels, wind energy is seen as a viable way to produce energy while reducing global warming and pollution.

Businesses Look to LED Lighting for Energy Efficiency
In the United States, lighting accounts for 25% of the total electricity usage by consumers and commercial users and is responsible for 10% of all U.S. carbon
dioxide emissions. The U.S. Department of
Energy (DoE) estimates that lighting-based energy consumption can be reduced by more than 20% by 2020 through the use of solid-state light-emitting diode (LED)-based lighting. Problems related to mercury and light quality inherent in fluorescent solutions can also be addressed.
